Heartbeat (Cron) Monitoring

Ensure your backups and background jobs are running.

Why you need Heartbeat (Cron) Monitoring

Also known as a 'Dead Man's Switch'. Your script pings us when it runs. If we don't hear from it by the expected time, we alert you. Perfect for backups and data pipelines.

Monitor scheduled tasks (Cron)
Verify backup completion
Check data pipeline health
No inbound firewall changes needed

How it works technically

You make a simple HTTP GET or POST request to a unique Statzly URL. We track the time between pings. If the time exceeds your grace period, we trigger an alert.
